Low birthweight (LBW) of less than 2500 g is an important marker maternal and fetal health, predicting mortality, stunting, adult-onset chronic conditions. Global nutrition targets set at the World Health Assembly in 2012 include ambitious 30% reduction LBW prevalence between 2025. Estimates to track progress towards this target are lacking; with analysis, we aim assist setting a baseline against which assess achievement targets.We sought identify all available input data for livebirths...
The objectives of this study were to measure the incidence sarcomas, including viscerally sited tumors that are not reported in cancer statistics, and draw explanatory clues from a large reliable sarcoma data set.Cases sarcomas regardless primary site (except bone joints) collected during 2 years 3 European regions totaling approximately 26,000,000 person-years. sources used pathology reports hospital discharges forms. Diagnoses reviewed by expert pathologists classified according 2002 World...
Following childbirth, women need to stay sufficiently long in health facilities receive adequate care. Little is known about length of following childbirth low- and middle-income countries or its determinants.We described after facility delivery 92 countries. We then created a conceptual framework the main drivers stay, explored factors associated with 30 using multivariable linear regression. Finally, we used logistic regression examine stays that were "too short" (<24 h for vaginal...
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are particularly exposed to biological risk, including SARS-CoV-2 infection. In order contrast the current pandemic and alleviate burden of disease on healthcare system, a mass vaccination campaign against COVID-19 has been launched worldwide. Aim To evaluate impact in HCWs SARS-CoV-2, describe clinical presentation infected HCWs, investigate occupational risk factors for breakthrough Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: The Trieste Hospitals...
Background. Several drugs which are easy to administer in outpatient settings have been authorized and endorsed for high-risk COVID-19 patients with mild-moderate disease prevent hospital admission death, complementing vaccines. However, the evidence on efficacy of antivirals during Omicron wave is scanty or conflicting. Methods. This retrospective controlled study investigated Molnupiravir Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid®) Sotrovimab against standard care (controls) three different...
Objective: To study SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in health-care workers (HCWs) of the University Health Agency Giuliano-Isontina (ASUGI), covering provinces Trieste and Gorizia (northeastern Italy) routinely screened for via nasopharyngeal swab. Design: Cohort HCWs (N = 8205) followed since start pandemic (1 March 2020) through 31 January 2023. The risk reinfection during Omicron transmission period (after 30 November 2021) among previously infected by was estimated based on days last dose...
Introduction: The impact of long-COVID-19 syndrome is rather variable, since it influenced by several residual confounders. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence long COVID-19 in healthcare workers (HCWs) from four university hospitals north-eastern Italy: Trieste, Padua, Verona, and Modena-Reggio Emilia. Methods: During period June 2022-August 2022, HCWs were surveyed for past infections, medical history, any acute as well post-COVID-19 symptoms. was estimated at 30-60 days or 61+...
Cancer is a significant and growing problem worldwide. While this increase may, in part, be attributed to increasing longevity, improved case notifications risk-enhancing lifestyle (such as smoking, diet obesity), hygiene-related factors resulting immuno-regulatory failure may also play major role call for revision of vaccination strategies protect against range cancers addition infections. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are component wider family retroelements that constitutes part...
Vaccination coverage against COVID-19 among health care workers (HCWs) of the University Health Agency Giuliano-Isontina (ASUGI) Trieste (North-eastern Italy) by 1 January 2022 was 90.4% with at least one vaccine dose, 84.9% 2 doses, and 75.1% 3 98.2% Comirnaty (Pfizer BioNtech, New York, NY, USA) versus 1.8% Spikevax (Moderna, Cambridge, MA, USA). From October 2020 to 7 February 2022, 1652 SARS-CoV-2 infections were notified in HCWs ASUGI Trieste. Although overall risk contagion increased...
The research aimed to investigate the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections and their determinants in a large European cohort more than 60,000 health workers.A multicentric retrospective study, involving 12 centers, was carried out within ORCHESTRA project, collecting data up 18 November 2021 on fully vaccinated workers. cumulative investigated with its association occupational social-demographic characteristics (age, sex, job title, previous infection, antibody titer levels, time...
Background: A proportion of patients' ailments may last after recovering from acute COVID-19, with episodic and systemic symptoms unclear etiology potentially involving different organs. Study aim: The aim this study was to investigate the persistence 15 months since COVID-19 diagnosis in patients referring post-COVID-19 clinic Trieste (north-eastern Italy). Methods: Two-hundred-forty-seven were medically examined between 8 December 2020-6 April 2021, a median time 49 days first positive...
ABSTRACT Background Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by topical application of neomycin is frequently reported. Objectives This multi‐center study investigated prevalence and determinants sensitisations in 30 629 outpatients from North‐eastern Italy during 1997–2021. Patients Methods European baseline extended Triveneto series were applied on the upper back patients patch testing for suspected ACD removed after 48 h. Results Prevalence sensitisation was 2.29% (=701/30 629),...
This survey aimed at estimating the concentration of hair mercury (Hg) in fishermen and workers fish industry Marano Lagunare (North-eastern Italy, Upper Adriatic Sea). A field investigation was conducted from 2nd December 2023 through 18th April 2024, on 73 local fishermen, 83 93 controls among residents (mainly farmers/herdsmen) Dolomites Alps. An amount approximately 100 mg collected all respondents, who were also asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire collecting...
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a chronic inborn error of amino acid metabolism that requires lifelong follow-up and intervention, which may represent strains on Quality Life (QoL). This observational study evaluated QoL in cohort PKU patients, using updated detailed instruments.22 patients with mild respondent to BH4 21 classical treated diet were recruited this study. Adult completed WHOQOL questionnaire-100 (WHOQOL-100) pediatric the Pediatric inventory (PedsQL(TM)). Psychiatric mood disorders...
Abstract Although there is no evidence that elevated rates of cesarean sections (CS) translate into reduced maternal/child perinatal morbidity or mortality, CS have been increasingly overused almost everywhere, both in high and low-income countries. The primary section (PCS) has become a major driver the overall (OCS) rate, since it carries intrinsic risk repeat (RCS) future pregnancies. In our study we examined patterns PCS, planned PCS (PPCS), vaginal birth after 1 previous (VBAC-1)...
What is already known about this subject?► Human coronaviruses are to cause respiratory re-infections, regardless of pre-existing humoural immunity.► There evidence suggesting that severe acute syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had been circulating in Italy before the first COVID-19 case was detected country.
SARS-CoV-2 replicates efficiently in the upper airways during prodromal stage, resulting environmental viral shedding from patients with active COVID-19 as well asymptomatic individuals. There is a need to find pharmacological interventions mitigate spread of COVID-19. Hypothiocyanite and lactoferrin are molecules innate immune system large spectrum cidal activity. The Food Drug Administration European Medicines Agency designated hypothiocyanite combination an orphan drug. We report vitro...
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of primary and recurrent COVID-19 infections in healthcare workers (HCWs) routinely screened for SARS-CoV-2 by nasopharyngeal swabs during Omicron wave. Design: Dynamic Cohort study HCWs (N = 7723) University Health Agency Giuliano Isontina (ASUGI), covering health services provinces Trieste Gorizia (Northeast Italy). Cox proportional hazard model was employed to estimate risk as well infection from 1 December 2021 through 31 May 2022, adjusting a number...
